Chapter 151 Prelude

Rain Ninja Village

Pein opened his eyes.

Konan asked: "What does Obito mean by this?"

Pein said lightly: "Obito is testing our attitude towards him. He is now seriously injured. If we are still polite to him, he will be suspicious."

"Obito's identity has only been exposed. It just means that more people will be on guard against him in the future, but his strength has not been damaged."

"He has now taken back his left eye. He thought I didn't know the secret of the double Sharingan, so he deliberately gave in."

"His dormancy means that he has something to hide."

"Compared to Obito, I am more willing to trust Xia Mu."

Konan said that being with Obito is always on edge, and cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Pein nodded: "Try it..."

He closed his eyes and a wave of thought was transmitted...

...

Uchiha clan land.

Xia Mu's expression moved. Nagato actually contacted me?

Xia Mu sent everyone else away.

Lie down and change to a comfortable position. Then he cast a spell, and his mind drifted away.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in an unknown cave.

Across from him was the figure of Pein.

Xia Mu looked up at his body, just like a video conference, and occasionally there would be a pulling wave on his body.

The signal of this thing is not very good.

But it is already powerful enough, ultra-long-distance confidential communication, only this one, no other branch.

"You are here." Pein's tone is different from when he communicated with Obito.

Talking to Xia Mu is very normal, just like an ordinary friend.

"Does Obito have any reaction?"

Xia Mu guessed that Obito would choose to shrink now.

Pein nodded: "Obito's identity has been exposed, I deliberately acted strong, and he retreated."

Xia Mu touched his chin. Obito has always been cautious and has always been hiding in the dark.

These calculations were all because he knew all the information about Obito. And Obito didn't know that Xia Mu knew everything about him.

Even after his information was exposed, even Fugaku could set him up.

It's just a matter of poor intelligence.

Now that Obito knows that his ability has been fully exposed, he will naturally be more cautious in the future and will not show up easily again.

"Obito has suffered several losses from me. Now that he has his left eye back, his ability will increase rapidly and he will definitely go into hiding. Your Akatsuki organization is also continuing to dormant and develop."

"Your body..." Xia Mu pondered for a moment.

Nagato is obviously much weaker than Obito now. Now that Obito has his eyes back, he can also activate Susanoo. With the help of the double Kamui, he can't be killed at all.

Nagato's Akatsuki organization has just started its activities, and Kakuzu can't save 600 billion detonating tags for Konan.

At this time, Nagato and Konan are still a long way from Obito in terms of hard power.

Nagato's body itself is the biggest flaw. If it is found by Zetsu, it will be gone.

Xia Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Let Konan come over. I have something for you."

"I will contact you with a paper crane when I come."

"Okay."

Thinking is disconnected.

Xia Mu opened his eyes and found himself still lying on the bed.

He stretched: "Oh, I'm so tired. Being the clan leader is really a hassle."

Xia Mu came back and found out that Fugaku got the time-sealing magic circle of the witch of the Demon Country.

It turns out that there is really something that restrains time-space ninjutsu. It seems that Fugaku is still alive, otherwise he wouldn't know that there is such a thing.

If it weren't for the fact that the time-sealing magic circle could not be opened continuously, Obito would probably be dead now.

Xia Mu sent people to the Demon Country again as soon as possible.

I don't know what the news is there.

But now there is a magic weapon of the time-sealing magic circle in the clan, and the safety of the clan can be guaranteed.

When Xia Mu agreed to take over as the clan leader, Fugaku had already announced the news in the clan.

Now, all matters, big and small, come to Xia Mu to report.

He never knew that the head of a clan is in charge of so many things.

The income of the snack street, the export materials of the Sand Village, the rewards for the birth of the clan members' children, etc., all of these must be reported.

Although Xia Mu manipulated Uchiha in the overall situation and brought considerable progress to Uchiha, he never managed the details of the specific operation.

Xia Mu has never been greedy for power. After all, there is an Otsutsuki above his head. It is useless to be greedy for power.

So Xia Mu has been looking for suitable personnel these days to divide these matters.

...

Konoha Village.

Hokage Office.

The Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu all gathered here.

Because the Third Hokage received a lot of official documents.

It was sent by another ninja village, because the current Uchiha nominally belongs to Konoha Village.

So the people who invited the Uchiha clan leader to the succession ceremony all replied in two copies, one to tell Konoha Village who we are coming to receive you, and the other to avoid misunderstandings.

The other is to reply to Uchiha, which means we have received the invitation letter, and we will come or not.

"Take a look." The Third Hokage threw all the official letters there.

He motioned for Danzo to come and have a look.

Danzo and the other two picked up the letters and read them one by one.

Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sandagakure all said they would come, but there was no news from Kirigakure, so they probably wouldn't come.

"These people have impure motives." Mizutomon said with some worry.

The third generation took his pipe and tapped on another document, which was also an official letter: "This is the recently rising Sound Village, and their so-called Sound Shadow will also come."

Danzo sneered: "The leader of a small village dares to call himself a shadow?"

Danzo's contempt is not without reason. Now, in addition to the five major countries, there are many other small countries and small ninja villages, but most of them are not strong enough. The most powerful are only elite jonin forces.

And they are just two or three kittens, not a big deal at all.

If you don't have any strength, you will be laughed at if you rashly call yourself a shadow, except in your own village.

The third generation Hokage shook his head: "This Sound Shadow held a succession ceremony recently, and there is not much information about him now, but Shisui and the more than 100 Uchiha are all in the Sound Village."

"Humph." Danzo forgot that more than 100 elites of Uchiha left.

"The evil Uchiha clan."

"I suspect that this Yinying is a puppet fostered by the Uchiha clan."

The third generation shook his head: "Uchiha Xiamu's move is to put pressure on us."

"Our relationship with Uchiha is not good to begin with, and now there are so many people from other villages coming to spy on us blatantly. If we Konoha don't do something."

"I'm afraid Xiamu will publicly express his separation from Konoha."

What the third generation Hokage said makes sense. After all, Xiamu said before that Konoha should disclose the action plan of Uchiha on the night of the Nine-tailed Fox.

However, the top leaders of Konoha were concerned about their face and kept dragging their feet without giving a positive response.

Xiamu invited so many people from other ninja villages to watch the ceremony in the name of taking over as the clan leader.

It is to put pressure on Konoha. If you don't announce it, okay, I will directly tell other forces that we are not familiar with Konoha Village, and your activities have nothing to do with us.

And in terms of strength, Itachi has returned to Uchiha, Shisui is back, plus Xiamu and Fugaku. The Uchiha clan now has four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan.

Add to that the more than 100 elite Uchiha clans that have returned and the Uchiha clans that have stayed behind, and the Uchiha clans now even have the ability to launch a coup.

Especially since all of these more than 100 elite Uchiha clans are hawks, it is entirely possible that they will launch a coup.

But you can't stop them from coming back, after all, it was the Third Hokage who signed the agreement, saying that they left.

If they left, wouldn't it be reasonable for them to return to the village for such a big event as the replacement of the clan leader?

Xia Mu's move made the Third Hokage feel that a storm was coming.
